Tottenham Hotspur will face Liverpool in the Champions League final this coming weekend.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Jan Vertonghen has suggested that he will be fit for the Champions League final against Liverpool, as quoted in The London Evening Standard.

Spurs will take on Premier League rivals Liverpool in the final of the Champions League at Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid this coming weekend.

Vertonghen did not play for Tottenham in their final Premier League game of the season against Everton.

The Belgium international defender suffered a head injury in the first leg of Spurs’ Champions League semi-final tie against Ajax and left Amsterdam after the second leg on crutches and wearing a protective boot, as reported by The London Evening Standard.

The 32-year-old former Ajax star has said that he will be fit to play against Liverpool – comments which will be welcomed by Tottenham fans, as the Belgian is one of the best defenders in the world and is a key figure for the North London outfit.

The London Evening Standard quotes Vertonghen as saying: “I have fully trained with the squad last week. I feel good, super good.

“I have a history of ankle injuries, but I was only worried for half an hour – just after the Ajax game.”

Meanwhile, Tottenham legend Paul Miller has given his take on potential transfer dealings that manager Mauricio Pochettino might do in the summer transfer window.

Miller told The Sun: “I think Mauricio will get what he needs — six in, six out. Those six they won’t be over 25 and there will be two or three Englishmen, because Poch likes that.”
